How to configure FTP or FTPS access to Content Services?

1. Access the Oracle Collaboration Suite EM Control and navigate to “Content” system component.

2. You may want to change the default port number for the FTP server. To do this:

a. In the Administration section, click Server Configurations.

b. Click FtpServerConfiguration.

c. Click IFS.SERVER.PROTOCOL.FTP.Port, in the Properties section. ( i would suggest you to give port number such as 2100)

d. Update the Value with the desired port number and click OK.

e. Click OK on the Edit Server Configuration page.

3. Return to the Content Services Home page and click Node Configurations, in the

Administration section.

4. Click the name of the node configuration that corresponds to the node where you

want to run the FTP server. You can only run the FTP server on regular nodes;

you cannot run FTP on HTTP nodes.

5. Scroll down to the Servers table and click FtpServer.

6. Select Active and Initially Started.

7. Click OK on the Edit Server page.

8. Click OK on the Edit Node Configuration page.

9. Return to the Content Services Home page and restart the node.

Repeat this procedure for any additional regular nodes on which you want to run FTP.

Enabling Anonymous FTP Access

For security reasons, anonymous FTP access is disabled by default. If you want to enable

anonymous access, you must first modify the FTP server configuration to allow anonymous access, then allow public access to a particular folder or folders in Oracle Content Services.

Once public access has been enabled for a particular folder, users can connect directly to that folder using anonymous FTP. In most cases, anonymous users should use FTP links to connect. For example, if an administrator only enables public access to the folder /DEFAULT_NAME/TestFiles/Public, users would need to configure an FTP client to connect directly to that folder. Anonymous users would not be able to connect to the root folder and navigate to the "Public" folder, because "DEFAULT_NAME" & "TestFiles" folders do not have public access enabled.

To modify the FTP server configuration to allow anonymous access:

1. Connect to the Oracle Collaboration Suite Control and navigate to the Content Services Home page.

2. In the Administration section, click Server Configurations.

3. Click FtpServerConfiguration.

4. In the Properties section, select

IFS.SERVER.PROTOCOL.FTP.AnonymousAllowed and click Edit, or just click the property name.

5. Set the Value to True and click OK.

6. Click OK on the Edit Server Configuration page.

7. Return to the Content Services Home page and restart the node.
